Sandra Trop, former director of Everson Museum of Art who died last month, will be remembered at a reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday at the museum, 401 Harrison St., Syracuse. Trop began as a volunteer at the museum in the 1970s before joining the staff. She held the post of director from 1995 to 2008.

Family, friends and former colleagues will celebrate Trop’s contributions to the Everson and the community.

Refreshments will be served, and a special dessert presentation will be made by Trop’s longtime friend, Lee Conant. A Sandra Trop Memorial Fund has been established at the Everson for the purchase of a contemporary art work in her memory.
